moving several events around as part of changes in the server and
regular installfest<toddc> and we will announce more after we check
the schedule at UAT for rooms<toddc> Dazed_75 would like to add more
info at this time?<toddc> We will also be trying to stream all events
on http://azlocobbb.banditti.com/  but until we get organized<toddc> I
will start as soon as possible after events start but due to setup
time I hope to find others to run it  as we get bigger. This will let
other's participate and be more active state/world wide but will take
time to develop and and get the word out.<toddc>  Yesterday's
installfest went very well. It was not a large turn out but we have a
great time and kept busy with several projects and had a very good
time talking and testing and several new people showed up for help and
